At 11 a.m., Albertville Police Sgt. Jamie Smith told The Huntsville Times names of the victim and shooter would likely not be released until Monday because family members have not been notified.

Smith said the man was invited for Thanksgiving dinner at the Lydia Street home of his estranged wife. He said the couple had been separated for several months and the woman was eight months' pregnant.

The incident occurred after an argument began at about 7 p.m.

Police said the man shot the woman multiple times, including at least once in the face, before turning the gun on himself.
